Practicing emotions is the engine for change, it is invoking a choreography of winds and poems of existence to plant futures. It is fascinating that The science hold more doubts than certainties. That does not ruin the attitude that invites us to mix with the unknown and be disturbed by our smallness to continue to amaze us. It is ugly to see characters that do not tolerate the ‘I don’t know’ because despite their medieval refrain, you have to learn to summarize the messages to add motivations; we need to understand, take a flight to things, exercise curiosity. There is no technology to stop this drama if we only pay attention to effects and continue demonizing the bugs.
Culture devours our species, the physicist Lichtemberg wrote centuries ago. This civilization of garbage is a moral tear, he denounced the great Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente, a symphony of traps, the price of the cult of plastic, lead, arsenic and then the bar. Another German, Schopenhauer, commented that it is not only necessary to discover the truth but to extirpate it when it stifles the aspirations of humanity.
To lose the ecosystems it is not an atmospheric problem but political and economic, cities do not give more than if, they grow without control. The information is basic: we are culture and nature and it is respect that makes us the last resort. That is why there are those who are still committed to sowing cohesion and solidarity, cultivating a kind of citizen science what claims critical vision: many small people, Galeano said, with the capacity to transform what is not yet valued, like an unfinished quartet.
We have lost intelligences, like the enthusiasm to contemplate, we search without knowing what. Living near a park, walking in the mountains, will not get us out of the crisis, but it will relieve us of diseases like anxiety or depression. In its precise geometry, breathing plants is a verse of life, an art like painting or sculpture. The creative fact, generous harvests of good sense and delight in the middle of each day.
